Product Introduction
Outdoor Environmental Conductivity Sensor
1. Working Principle
Based on the ionic conductivity characteristics of solutions, divided into two categories:
- Contact electrode type (two-electrode / four-electrode)
- Two-electrode: suitable for pure water, low conductivity water bodies; high concentration is prone to polarization and pollution.
- Four-electrode (mainstream smart type): eliminates polarization effects, anti-pollution, wide range, suitable for sewage, high-salinity seawater, most commonly used in industrial online applications.
- Electromagnetic induction type (electrodeless): coil induction measurement, suitable for strongly corrosive high-salinity wastewater, cannot measure ultrapure water.
Built-in NTC/PT1000 temperature sensor, automatic temperature compensation, automatic conversion to 25℃ standard conductivity, simultaneously outputs EC, TDS, salinity, temperature multi-parameters.
